“HOW TO CHANGE CIRCUMSTANCES THROUGH PREVAILING PRAYER”
Saints of God Most High, hear God’s word for you today:
“Ya‘betz was honoured more than his brothers; his mother called him Ya‘betz, she explained, ‘because I bore him in pain.’ Ya‘betz called on the God of Isra’el: ‘Please bless me by enlarging my territory. May your hand be with me! Keep me from harm so that it will not cause me pain’. God granted his request.” (1 Chronicles 4:9-10)
Jabez was honourable above his brothers; but his mother named him Jabez (sorrow maker, saying, “Because I bore him in pain.”
Jabez cried to the God of Israel, saying, Oh, that You would bless me and enlarge my border, and that Your hand might be with me, and You would keep me from evil so it might not hurt me! And God granted his request.
HOW TO CHANGE CIRCUMSTANCES THROUGH PREVAILING PRAYER
Prayerless pews makes powerless pulpits. Prayer is hardest when it is hardest to pray.
Arguments never settle things but prayer changes things.
What Is a Prevailing Prayer?
Genesis 32:24-30 / 1 Samuel 1:10-15
Prevailing prayer is praying to gain victory over negative forces by holding firmly unto God without letting go. Lives have been changed because of prevailing prayer.
Circumstances have been turned around because of prevailing prayer. Closed doors have opened because of prevailing prayer.
Sorrows have been turned to joy because of prevailing prayer. Shattered hopes and dreams regained through persistent prayer.
Prevailing prayer is the prayer that pushes right through all difficulties and obstacles.
Prevailing prayer drives back all opposing forces of Satan.
Prevailing prayer secures and accomplishes the will of God on earth, in times like this, when trials and temptations are on the increase, problems are diverse and backsliding is the order of the day. The place and potency of prayer cannot be overstated.
Prevailing prayer should therefore be the heart cry of heaven bound saints, for therein lies our dominion and victory in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!
Faithful is He Who is calling you to Himself and utterly trustworthy, and He will also do it! Fulfill His call by hallowing and keeping youself for His glory!
Somebody shout, “GLORY TO GOD!”
Shalom and good morning.
